Title: Queuing system, method and computer program product for managing the provision of services over a communications network
Inventor: KING MATT
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2005-05-12
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for managing requests for service over a communications network. The method of the invention comprises the steps of:  receiving a request for service from a customer terminal at a queue server via the communications network; allocating a queue identifier to the request for service; sending the queue identifier to the customer terminal; receiving the queue identifier from the customer terminal at the queue server as part of a subsequent request for service; performing a comparison between the queue identifier and queue status information; and forwarding the request for service to the service host in accordance with the result of the comparison.  Preferably, if sufficient resources are available, the request for service is forwarded directly to the service host without entering a queue. If there are insufficient resources, the request for service is held in an automatically managed queue and the risk of catastrophic failure is eliminated.

Abstract: A separation apparatus (38) for cutting open the lateral part of the packaging of a paper reel carries, on a carriage (39) movable in a separation direction, a base plate (40) which can be moved back and forth in a transverse direction.  It carries a scanning unit (41) which rolls on the lateral part and carriers which are displaceable in the transverse direction and carry in each case a pre-cutting disc (47), two cutting discs (50a, b) for loosening purposes, two brushes (53a, b) and a plough (55). After the scanning unit (41) has been positioned just behind an exposed end face of the paper reel, said parts are advanced in the transverse direction and the separation apparatus (38) is moved in the separation direction. The pre-cutting disc (47) makes a preliminary cut which is, for example, 0.4 mm deep. For facilitating the insertion of the tip (56) of the plough (55) into the end face, loosening cuts are also made beforehand on both sides thereof and the edge region is raised by means of the brushes (53a, b). Finally, the separation apparatus (38) is moved to the opposite end face of the paper reel. Since the lateral part is cut through by the pre-cutting disc (47), the forces acting on the plough (55) are small and there is no damage to the boundary layer on which it slides.

Title: Accessory authentication for electronic devices
Inventor: FADELL ANTHONY M
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2005-12-13
Abstract: Improved techniques to control utilization of accessory devices with electronic devices are disclosed. The improved techniques can use cryptographic approaches to authenticate electronic devices, namely, electronic devices that interconnect and communicate with one another. One aspect pertains to techniques for authenticating an electronic device, such as an accessory device. Another aspect pertains to provisioning software features (e.g., functions) by or for an electronic device (e.g., a host device).  Different electronic devices can, for example, be provisioned differently depending on different degrees or levels of authentication, or depending on manufacturer or product basis. Still another aspect pertains to using an accessory (or adapter) to convert a peripheral device (e.g., USB device) into a host device (e.g., USB host). The improved techniques are particularly well suited for electronic devices, such as media devices, that can receive accessory devices. One example of a media device is a media player, such as a hand-held media player (e.g., music player), that can present (e.g., play) media items (or media assets).
